I don't know if Blizzard ever decided to allow Battle.net Balance to be used to purchase Blizzard merchandise (T-shirts, plushies, etc.) but if so that would encourage player botting that much more.
RMT here is mostly limited to gil (why, people? gil isn't hard to get) and sometimes houses. The cash shop RMT that we used to see was actually scamming and not real sales.
